HARSH EXACTIONS.
Low Wages and Hard Work Imposed Upon
Needy Women.

New York Letter in Worcester Spy.
During the present week lady, in the inter-
of the richest Protestant church in the
United States, church whose corporation has
been said to represent the largest amount of
property of any religious body in our country,
applied to the head of educational agency
for trained kndergartener. She must not
only have the full professional training. which
presupposes a costly outlay in preparation for
her acceptance paid teacher, but she must
possess good governing powers and tact IN winning
the chiidren's affection She will also be re-
quired to visit the mothers of all these children
once a week. which, from the circumstances of
their number and distribution, will absorb her
afternoons. She is offered for this service only
$25 month. and is to board herself. The ladies
who, under the guise of charity. make such Of
fers as these, wear tailor-made gowns. the max
ing alone of which costs $12o They buy butter
for their dainty daughters at 81 pound,
and yet, with what seems criminal Indifference
to well-known facts. they offer such salaries in
the interests of charity and to supply . neces-
sity oe their benevolent institutions as
recompense for skilled labor, which de-
mands special preparation. They do
this. too in the face of the fact that no edu-
Gated woman can be decenty fed and respect
ably lodged in the city of New York at this time
for less than 81 per week. and this will by no
means provide for any other need or want, and
those same benevolent creatures will speak with
touching regret of the growing disorders in So
ciety. the laxity of virtue. and SO on and SO on.
Who is responsible for these thingsl Not long
ago the matron OF day nursery told to the
writer the following story An mploye of that
institution OaO taught IN the Gay scnooi
ings and in sewing class afternoons. She
brought penny roll for her luncheon and man
aged to lodge and exist on So week from this
benevolent board of managers
Being a homeless orphan, she has until this
summer spent her holidays at the house of
relative in the country near New York. This
relative has recently died, and her husband has
moved to the far West. The necessity of pro-
vdug margin for this expense was the
occasion of her asking for more wages. and while
acknowledging the value of her services the
board declined to give more. When the
matron asked, what are you going to do?" the
president of the coard replied, I'VE will look up
some body who must have the work" "Oh."
said the matron, chow that hurts me every time
/ think of it, for we'll / know that all my best
efforts here day after day, from dawn till dark,
go for nothing with the ladies except the
thought, "She needs the work. and cannot live
without IT," Meanwhile '.Epnraim is joined to

the m1nutest point unexplained. Now, sir, per-
NIT me to state that when the character and
standing OF the officers who have voluntarily
given their testimony to the truth of the lash

ton of Admiral Jenkins, may be said to have

that brilliant engagement, and when. the

evidence submitted by the subatern who would
dispute a stubborn fact is recalled. it verify
seems waste of time and paper to say any
thing further upon the subject and yet. before
leaving 1t, must add that l oppose the right OF
any one who was not in a position to see or know

points lndorse all that is SO well and ably writ

course pursued by Mr.. Baldwin is insulting to
the memory of our great naval hero, man
whose character throughout life was .'sans peur

navy and rendered its reputation for daring and

In conclusion permit me to say that if it is

PROHIBITION VIEWS.
Neal BOWS Forecast of the Presidential Cam
paign of Next Year.

Portland. tbIe) Special to Philadelphia Press.
General Neal Dow, who has reached the
eighty-fourth milestone of his earthly pilgrim
age, spends his time adays in attending to
his large business interests, in reading, in watch
ing the signs of the times and in publicly advo-
eating prohibition in the prohibition State OF
Maine. He is ever ready to talk politics. while
his mind is active as twenty years ago. He
will take the stump in New York in the APP
preaching campaign. He says that the fight
will be as hard any fight that has occupied
the attention of toe people of that State for
many day. He predicts great prohibition
gains there. He said to-day that the West was
leading the East in the progress of prohibition,
and attributed largely to the influence of Jefer-
son Davis the overwhelming defeat of the Pro
hibtion amendment in Texas. Asked about
Pennsylvania, he replied:
I'VE are making progress there too, but the
strength of the great parties has kept US down"
What is the programme for 1887
at is now hare to say We shall have our
national convention and our national candidate.
Our platform. II is probable, will not be SO long
as in 1884. Among the planks will be one calling
for the prohibition of the sale and manufacture
of intoxicating liquors and one affirming the
necessities of national prohibition part

Widow Ordered Out of a Hotel.

On Wednesday most unfortunate affair, oc-
Cured at the St. George Hotel. in Evansv ille
invovngMr. Samuel w. Williams, of Vincennes
in a scandal with Mrs. Compton. cashing
widow of Brazil. Ind It seems that Mr.. Will
Jams went to Evansville on legal business the
first of the week. and put up at the St. George.
Mrs. Compton. lady about thirty five years of
age arrived at about the same time The actions
of the lady and gentleman attracted some atten-
ton, and the St. George people proposed to set
watch them. This was done, and Wednes-
day a storm arose that Mr.. Williams had hoped
to avoid.
The hotel people ordered him to leave at once.
which he did, taking the woman with him. Mrs.
Compton is the widow of man once prominent
in Indiana politics. She is very pleasant ap
rearing lady, and moved in high society. When
Mr.. Williams found in the room of this fool
ish woman, Mr. Huston, of the firm OF Mackey
& Huston, proprietors of the ST. George. sent
Williams a letter to ..immediately vacate Room
9S;" if he didn't he would be kicked into tho
street The letter. copy of which is in pos
session of your CORES pendent, Is as follows:
"ST GEORGE HOTEL. EVANSVILLE, Aug 10.

could be so lost all decency as place Mrs.
Compton in such compromising position. Your
and her acts nave been witnessed, and were it
not for the injury 1t would do the honorable So
ciety you are here representing, would have
you kicked out into the middle of the street.
Such scoundrels as you ought to be dealt with
severely. Take warning, and quickly. Yours.
.'MACKEY 81 HUSTON"
The affair has created a great sensation here,
but the ST. George people are not taking any
pains to suppress it. The marvel is that Will
Jams could be so foolish to involve himself in
such a scrape. The widow and Williams skipped
out forthwith, and have not been seen since.
Williams at Evansville attending meet
ing of the Knights and Ladies of Honor. The
lodge will take Immediate steps to investigate.
Williams is ex-Representative of the Indi-
ana Legislature, author of the famous tele-
phone law of Indiana and prominent man in
Indiana politics. He it was, it is claimed, who
controlled the late United States senatorial
contest. influencing the deciding vote for
David Turpie. Williams also gained consider
able prominence at the Fourth of July Henry
George celebration at Cincinnati. where he made
brilliant speech, which captivated the audience
of twenty thousand people, and he at once
in vited to make canvass of New York State
The ladies present also presented him with hand
some bouquets. The lady mixed up in this
affair is said to be wealthy. His friends think
Williams has acted in most foolhardv manner.
The scandal is the common talk of this part of
the State.
